Mobile kitchen

Even though we are staying at places with "kitchens", most of the time the tools are crap. Which is fair - it's what I'd stock a rental too. But it makes me angry and worried that I am going to cut off my finger in some foreign country. 

So, next time we are traveling to places with kitchens and I will cook, I think that it's in my best interest to take along:

- a sharp chief knife. 8"?

- pairing knife

- cutting board, probably plastic for weight

- a peeler

- bottle opener / corkscrew

It's not really a lot of things, but it would make me so much happier while making meals. 

The other thing that I debated and decided against was to bring a better coffee machine. I really wish that I had. I guess if I did that I'd have to add in a food thermometer. Such is my life. First world problems.

It will be nice to be home with good knives and boards again. I think that I'll sharpen them just for fun.
